Team GB Olympians with degrees

Cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy, the first Briton in 100 years to win three
medals in a single Olympic Games, added another two in London to become
Britain's greatest ever Olympian with six gold medals. He also has
impressive academic credentials - having started a maths
and physics
degree at St
Andrews, he dropped out on the grounds that he missed riding his bike,
moved the 50 miles back to his hometown of Edinburgh,
and took a degree in sports
science while he got his cycling career back on track.
